The US Navy has released a video showing an incident it describes as an "unsafe
interaction" between a Chinese warship and a US destroyer in the Taiwan Strait.
This event adds to the existing tensions between the US and China, as they have
been unable to hold military talks and concerns rise about potential
escalations.
According to the US military, the Chinese warship cut in front of the US
ship, coming within 137 meters. China's foreign ministry defended its actions,
stating they were lawful and professional. This encounter follows a recent
incident in the South China Sea. The incident raises concerns about potential
conflicts, and Taiwan's defense ministry called for the respect of freedom of
navigation. |
